Southern Pines Police Department warns of scam calls from someone claiming to be Sergeant Edwards.
“The caller informs the potential victim that they have failed to appear in court,” said the Southern Pines Police Department on its Facebook page. “The caller then requests that the victim pay a fine so as not to be arrested.”
The department stated that it will not contact individuals requesting financial data or money, and individuals should not provide personal information.
